CON YOKE.

Application led March 25, 1921. Serial No. 455,631.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, Nicw'roN E. STAMM, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pueblo, in the county of Pueblo and State of Colorado, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Cow iYokes, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The present invention relates to yokes for cattle, and the principalobject is to prevent the live-stock from breaking through the fences.

'lhe invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangementof parts, as will be hereinafter' fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

Fig. l is a front elevation of my yoke.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same, and

Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the spur element.

Referring to the drawings, like numerals designate like parts in thevarious drawings.

ln Figs. l and 2, the yoke 18 has bent over ends 19 and a hook 2Opivotally attached thereto. Between the side members of the yoke l placea wooden bar 2l, having a longitudinal opening formed therethrough. irod 23 extends through openings in the yoke extensions and the bar 2l,and carries retaining nuts 24. This bar 2l is adjustable between theside bars of the yoke and is adapted to engage the upper part of theneck of the animal, to prevent the head from slipping through the yoke.

)t plate 25 is screwed to the rear face of Renewed .Tune 20, 1924.

bar 2l, and has secured thereon a downwardly directed spur member 2G.Should the animal try to pass its head through the fence wires, the yokewill be moved to cause the spur 2G to penetrate the neck. 40 The greaterthe ettort the animal makes to get through the fence.l the deeper thespur will penetrate the hide.

From the foregoing, it is thougl'lt that the construction of myinvention will be clearly understood, and, therefore, a more eX- tendedexplanation has been omitted.

Having thus described the invention, what l claim as new, is:

ris an improved article of manufact-ure, the herein described animalyoke, comprising a bar bent centrally to form a bowed portion withupwardly directed extensions with their upper ends bent forwardly anddownwardly therefrom, said extensions being formed with spaced openings,rings on the bowed portion, a hook pivotally mounted on the bowedportion between said rings, and a bar disposed between said extensions,

a rod extended through openings in said extensions and said bar andadjustable vertically, and a plate carried by said bar and carrying aspur.

ln testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
